Thank you Wolfgang!
I tried to change your code from chapters to sections (since that's what I was
already using) but it didn't work. So, I switched my sections to chapters and
it
works great! But it also caused me to run into other things I'd set up
manually that
I'm having to figure out---good way to learn! Haha!
You can only set header or footer settings when the section starts on a
new page. Permitting these two values for every section without this
restrictions can lead to problems because there can be cases where you
have different section levels on the same page and the setting from the
last command on the page counts.
That makes sense. I wasn't really thinking of my sections as "chapters" per se.
And I was forcing sections (each >5 pages) to start on new (odd) pages. But switching to
chapters is fine and takes care of some other stuff I was forcing.
You don't have to use \chapter as first level section which starts on a
new page, you can do the same with \section when you use
\setuphead
[section]
[page={yes,odd}]
One thing I *CANNOT* figure out: I've been using \doifoddpageelse to put in a
blank/empty page at the end of a section (if needed) so that new sections always
start on an odd page. This is still working with the change to chapters from
sections, EXCEPT for the first chapter (after TOC)! Totally stuck with that
one...
Let me guess you divide your document into section blocks (frontmatter,
bodymatter etc.).
When this is the case you have to first disable the page setting for
these blocks because they interfere with the header/footer setting. To
disable the page breaks add
\setupsectionblock
[frontpart,bodypart]
[page=no]
to your document setups.
How does this interact with \startsectionblockenvrironment? I found this on
wiki.contextgarden.net/Table_of_Contents for suppressing header/footer on TOC.
I did not specify frontmatter before, but moving the header/footer content into
the environment file messed up my formerly clean TOC page. :-) So, I've
currently got:
\startsectionblockenvironment[frontpart]
\setupheader[state=none]
\setupfooter[state=none]
\stopsectionblockenvironment
Do I keep this and also include your code above? Or can both things be taken
care of together somehow?
Both a different setups for different purposes.
In my setup I tell ConTeXt not to force a page break when it encounters
\startfrontmatter or \stopfrontmatter because I insert the break with
\chapter.
With the sectionblockenvironment-environment you can set a list of
settings which are inserted at the start of block, i.e. your settings
above do the same as
\startfrontmatter
\setupheader[...]
\setupfooter[...]
...
\stopfrontmatter
where I added the setting to the start of the block. The advantage of
\startsectionblockenvironment is that you have separated the layout from
the content.
